Woe is me.....

Limit of Ruffed Grouse
Since I travel to hunt, my hunting season is extended- September through February.  That is the GOOD news!  The BAD news is that once it's over, it is really over.  The entire country is closed and I have three prime, fit, ready-to-go bird dogs and no place to hunt.  I road them, run them, obedience train them and talk a lot about "next year", but slowly the depressing fact sinks in that we are DONE/finished.....Cleaning guns, gear and re-living the flushes and retrieves will be my way of life for 6 months.  Testing new gear and dreaming of new country to explore next year will help pass the time, of course.  Well, the dogs need feeding and kennels need cleaning....
